On-screen controller for touch screens

[haagaard]

Will it be possible to add html buttons or links as keyboard?
If already possible via JavaScript, can someone please help me out?

If you mean having on-screen controls to be able to play on tablets, that would be really cool.

sooooo, I did this, and it was verrrry slow
we need to do some serious performance optimizations to this library if we hope to get this to work on an ipad/ipod/android

It is working, and it is pretty good. I'm get it working with nipple.js on my iPad mini retina with 60 FPS.

If there's still enough interest I could port the control pad I made for jfktrey/rgb-emulator. GameBoy Color and NES use the same control scheme, so it should be portable without any major modifications.

@joeheyming: Were you listening for the click event? That's delayed on touch devices. You'll want to listen for tapstart

@haagaard Check out my implementation in Tecmo Touch for mobile browsers.
